2000 A8L
I am looking at the 2000 A8L with 108k miles for 11,999. Is this a good price? I am having the pre-purchase inspection done as we speak but wanted to find out if this was a reasonable price. It has every possible options including Navigation and 18" dish wheels.

I would look for tranny issues of course. It should drive smooth as silk with
a substantial amount of control. its a low price if the car is in perfect condition. find out what has been done maintanence wise. T-belt etc. review Audipages.com of course for some extra pointers.

Lower than suggested "Trade-in" pricing
According to Edmunds.com, that is below trade-in pricing. So you're getting a good price.
For a 2000 A8L with that many miles, the sales range provided was approximately $13 trade-in, $15 private sale, and $18 dealer. These seem to be reflective of Ebay prices too.
I would check, and double check, the tranny. Make sure the car goes into reverse with continuous power when you accelerate (in reverse). If not, any tranny repair will be significant ($2-$4K). Also mentioned was the timing belt. Audi recommends this be replaced at around 110K miles (approx $1K-2K cost).
I love my 2000 A8L, and hope you get a good deal on this one. Lets us know of your decision and good luck.<ul><li><a href="http://www.edmunds.com/tmv/used/2000/audi/a8/index.html">Link to Edmunds.com (2000 A8L)</a></li></ul>

Re: 2000 A8L
This is where I found the vehicle and I did put the deposit down. I am 90% sure to purchase but going thru PPI today emphasis on Timing Belt and Transmission.
I will let you guys know.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ramseycorp.com/used_vehicle_details.htm?vehicleId=6a7d98c74046382 40050078eb51814b3">http://www.ramseycorp.com/used_vehicle_details.htm?vehicleId=6a7d98c74046382 40050078eb51814b3</a</li></ul>

It's the miles that are killing the price.
Bought my 98 almost two years ago with just over 100k and the price was 4k less than comparable cars with 60 - 75k miles.
There simply aren't a lot of buyers willing to part with more than 10 - 12k for these cars with over 100k on the clock.
Lucky for us I suppose! :-)

Re: Make sure to do a CARFAX
There was a carfax for accident/incident report. Car is fixed and title is clear.
a8drifter, are you from NJ area? Do you mind going over and checking this vehicle out for me?
